Now that it is finally growing season, I am excited to try his simple vegetable recipes and his tips on planting and gardening. It's like reading a sexy novel with food photos, and I love his style of writing: "boil the beans enthusiastically" and "it turns out a creamed spinach of extraordinary solace & luxury"; "decrease the heat so the lentils simmer merrily".

He is very romantic about his veggies.

Since I am on a kale kick lately, I thought this recipe sounded simple and delicious.It was.

In a heavy saucepan, cook your onion on medium low heat in some olive oil for a few minutes until wilted, but do not let them get brown. Sprinkle with some sea salt.

In a small bowl, whisk together the juice from a blood orange (or regular orange), the vinegar, oil and capers. Add the dressing to the onions cooking in the pan and cook for a minute. Add in the raisins last.

Steam your kale in the microwave or steamer basket, however you like, for 2 minutes.

Pour the warm onion raisin dressing over the steamed kale and serve right away.

I see it on the distant horizon, winding closer and closer still, an inevitable culinary pairing, unstoppable, mankind can not control it, written long ago in nature's cookbook, fated to be - Stacey's Kale Tart - coming soon to a blog near you!
